What an odd time capsule of a movie.

A very odd curio of a movie. The first fifteen minutes are a fairly spectacular rendering of global destruction and then the rest is a horribly tedious melodrama of two women in love with a completely charisma-free lump of a guy.

For whatever reason, the MI series is on that I just can't review objectively. I loved this whole thing this despite its "why can't we all just get along?" earnestness and very silly plotting. If Tom is still hanging off the side of modes of transportation in 20 years, I'll still buy tickets.

Watched after Andor and still love this one.

I'd managed to avoid seeing this for almost twenty years until Ebertfest inexplicably programmed it this year and it managed to be much worse than I expected. I think I might have laughed twice.

Stunningly beautiful and finely observed film of a father taking his Downs Syndrome son to an Atlanta braves game.

The man loves cars.

Remarkable student film by Lucas.

This movie is so boring and Brad Johnson is astoundingly miscast.

Watching on it's 26th anniversary and damn does it still hold up.

Giving this a "like" but with some misgivings. It's got some amazing scenes and brilliant imagery, especially in the first half and unlike most people, I even like most of the second half. I did hate the ending but my main problem is that it doesn't really have much of a point of view. Wells' original story was a parable about European colonialism but this update downplays that theme and doesn't really replace it with anything. There's a few 9/11 references but it doesn't seem to know what we're supposed to get from them.

First watch in almost forty years and it's better than I ed. I'll it that it drags a little in the last hour but Bale gives an amazing performance and there's some just astounding scenes.

I a review of Attenborough's Cry Freedom that said something to the effect of "his heart is in the right place, too bad his cameras weren't" and I feel a little bit like that about this movie. To be fair, this movie is much better than any of those 80s and 90s films about non-white people that somehow still star white people but Spielberg was obviously not the right person to direct this and I guess that he's said as much himself. You can really feel him trying so hard to prove that he wasn't a mistake as a choice and while it's still a very well made and watchable movie, you can't help but think what someone with a more personal connection to the material would have done with it.

Such a fun and nasty little movie.

Such silly fun. Interesting watching this a few days after Anora, definitely some echoes of this movie there.

I was hoping that my memory was clouded and this was actually good but nope.

Beyond all the horribly problematic issues with it, it's just not fun or exciting. The plot barely exists and Indy doesn't really seem very invested in saving the village or its children.

The opening dance numbers and big bar fight is great and there's a couple of other fun sequences but it's mostly just so dull.

The more I think about this film, the less I think I like it. The re-creations of 1960s New York were great and the acting was fine but I don't feel like it had much of a point of view or even bothered to try to understand who Dylan was/is.
